Love at the Wrong Table by Emmanuel Lowe
Love at the 2023

“Your Holiness, I do not think Mr. Willy is trustworthy!”

Once Ken and his wife had left, Rhett spoke up from behind Mackenzie.

As the Holy Guardian, it was his duty to protect the Saintess, and he felt he

had to raise his concerns now.

Mackenzie turned to him and gently asked, “Rhett, how is your injury?”

tt

“Thank you for asking, but this injury is nothing to worry about,” Rhett casually

replied.

Mackenzie nodded but still moved closer to inspect his wound. After

checking, she sighed and said, “The Five Poison Sect’s strengths truly counter

yours. You are so strong, yet you were injured by a mere woman. It is really a

pity.”

“Do not worry, Your Holiness. Before Emmanuel left, he taught me several

ways to counter and avoid poisons, I have been studying them for the port

two days. I will not fall for their tricks so susily next time!

Rhett spoke with confidence,

“Oh? Emmanuel had time for that?”

Mackenzie was surprised. Emmanuel had been in such a rush that day,

staying by her side the whole time. She had not known he managed to do

this.

“Yes, he even gave me a book about it. I have already mastered some of the

quicker techniques.”

Rhett firmly continued, “Although my skills are still far below Emmanuel’s, they

will definitely come in handy one day.”

“Good. I trust you.”

Mackenzie’s eyes were full of belief in him.

“Your trust is my greatest honor, Your Holiness.”

Rhett placed one hand on his chest and spoke with deep respect.

Even though Mackenzie had always told him to be less formal, treating him

like an elder brother, he still acted this way. There was nothing she could do

to change it.

News of the failed assassination attempt on Mackenzie had already reached

Zovince.

In a simple house, Teddy was frowning as he spoke to Levi, “We tipped them

off. Now my rivalry with Mackenzie is out in the open. This is terrible for my

reputation!”

Levi bowed and said, “Mr. Tanner, public opinion can always be controlled. Right now, everyone is focused on the three presidential candidates. You could take things even further if you want to achieve your goals!”

Teddy gave a bitter smile. “Even if I wanted to push things further, it will be

hard to do so. The Four Great Envoys are my final trump cord. All four of therm

went after Mackenzie, and they still failed to kill her. What can I do now?

Levi shook his head. “Mr. Tanner, there is no need to hide anything. I know you

still have more trump cards. Your previous enemies were too weak so they

were not worth using them on. However, to deal with Emmanuel and

Mackenzie, you will need to play all your cards!”

Ch? I have more trump cards?”

Teddy acted confused. “I do not know of any others.”

“Mr. Tanner, your family is not only strong because of its men. The women are

just as remarkable! Twenty years ago, Jane Tanner, head of the Four

Beauties of Zovince, changed the nation’s fate with a single dance. People

still talk about it to this day.”

Levi gave a hint.

“Ah, but Jane is dead… Oh! Are you talking about her?”

Teddy interrupted himself, suddenly acting as if realization had struck him.

Levi smiled. “Exactly. Jane may be gone, but the new Maestro Moretti is just

as powerful. She is now secretly in control of the Five Poison Sect. If you ask

her, she will definitely help you deal with Mackenzie!”

Teddy’s brow furrowed, and he muttered, “That… might not be the right thing

to do.”

“Mr. Tanner, what are you worried about? She is your sister!”

Levi stepped forward, looking anxious.

“It might not do!”

Teddy waved his hand repeatedly, but he did not explain himself, not even to

Levi, his most trusted aide.

“Mr. Tanner, this is a rare opportunity! If Mackenzie dies, your re–election os

Chanaea’s Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce is certain. You can then

fully support your wife’s run for president. The entire nation will be under our

control!”

Levi continued to persuade him.

“Let me think it over. My relationship with Isabella is not as simple as you

think.”

Teddy briefly explained, then changed the subject. “Emmanuel has arrived in

Zovince. What has he been doing?”

Levi had no choice but to put the West End matter aside and report, saying, “Zovince is not like the West End. This is Chanaea’s capital, and people here strictly abide to the law. With Emmanuel protecting Ethan, getting rid of Ethan will take careful planning. However, I do have a way to deal with Emmanuel

Teddy no longer pretended to be calm, how looking ankovs

Emmanuel and Mackenzie were his biggest obsodes Once eyes of

the way, everyone else would be easy to handle,

“We can use the Lannister family to deal with him! Levi coldly said,denching

his fist.

“The Lannister family?”

Teddy deliberately frowned. “Eric has been in seclusion for a long time and

does not care about worldly matters. Gwain is no match for Emmanuel What

could the Lannister family possibly do?”

“That is not true!”

Levi waved his hand, knowing Teddy was trying to bat him. Mr. Tanner, you are underestimating the Lannister family’s strength and Gwain’s potential

“How could I be underestimating Gwain? Look at how many defeats he has

suffered. It would not be wrong to say he has been retreating at every turn. I

think he is completely unworthy of marrying Yuna!”

Teddy huffed in faux anger.

“That is not true!”

Levi waved his hand again. “The Lannister family has existed for centuries.

They have thrived in Zovince because of their exceptional martial talent!

“Right now, Gwain may not be a match for the Northern Wolf Warrior, but he is

two years younger than Emmanuel. If you give him another two years to

improve, could you truly say he will still be weaker than Emmanuel?”

Teddy did not rush to respond and thoughtfully stroked his beard.

“Gwain injured Roselynn over the Dragon Tome, which has already created a grudge between him and Emmanuel. They can never be friends!”

Levi confidently continued, “For the Dragon Tome, he will definitely go after

Roselynn again. If he manages to get the real Dragon Tomme, do you think re

will always be weaker than Emmanuel?

Teddy burst into laughter. “From what you are saying, it seems a botte

between the two of them is likely! However, how can you be sure that the

Dragon Tome Roselynn memorized is real?”

“I believe it is real! At least, most of it is likely reall

Levi, known for his sharp intelligence, said. “The Summerton family has

stationed thirty thousand troops in the mountains, ready to invade Zovince.

They still dream of becoming rulers like some outdated warlords!

“If they want any chance of success, the country must falll into choos. The

Dragon Tome is their best tool to stir up trouble.*

Teddy nodded. In fact, when he had practiced with the fake Dragon Tome, the

had already suspected the Summerton family’s motives.

If not for his cautious nature and strong cultivation, he might have fallen into

the Summerton family’s trap and died from deviation that very night.

There was no doubt that the Summerton family’s methods were extremely

sinister. Who would have imagined that the Dragon Tome the Great Four

Envoys had fought so hard to retrieve was fake?

“Levi, your analysis is spot on!”

Teddy finally nodded, approving of Levi’s plan. Then, he asked, “How do you

plan to let Gwain get his hands on the so–called real Dragon Tome? How will

you make sure he targets Emmanuel?”
